32 | Regarding the allegation: Staff handled resident in care in a rough manner. It was alleged that S2 had handled R1 in a rough manner such as slamming them onto their bed. To investigate the allegation, LPA attempted interviews with three (3) residents and two (2) staff members. R1 is currently not present at the facility. Per S2, R1 was sent to the hospital due to shortness of breath (SOB). LPA was able to interview R1 ahead of today’s visit where R1 revealed that S2 would pick them up from their bed and slam them back down onto the bed. LPA’s interview with R2 revealed that S2 has never slammed them onto their bed. R2 stated S2 is, “Very nice”. LPA attempted to interview R3 but due to their inability to validate the questions being asked due to their medical diagnosis, LPA terminated the interview. LPA’s interview with S2 revealed that they never treated R1 in a rough manner such as slamming them. S2 denied treating any of the residents in a rough manner or slamming them onto their bed. S1 was not present during the time of the visit but LPA was able to speak to them over the phone where they stated S2 is the main caregiver and the established designee of the facility. During LPA’s physical plant tour, LPA observed S2 to be the only staff member present to care for the two (2) residents. LPA observed S2 to be cleaning and cooking. LPA observed S2 preparing lunch for both residents. LPA observed both residents to be in good condition and did not observe any of them to appear in distress. LPA observed both R2 and R3 interacting with S2. LPA observed both residents to not show any signs of distress when around S2 such as flinching, withdrawal and/or panicking.
Based on interviews and observations, there is not enough information to verify the allegation. Therefore, the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED at this time.
During LPA’s physical plant tour and record review. LPA observed deficiencies which will be addressed on a Case Management visit.
Exit interview conducted and a copy of this report was provided to the caregiver.
